iPhone 6 dropping WiFi constantly

So is this an issue Apple plans to fix? I've had every version of the Iphone since it came out, and all have issues. I ignored most as I've always worked in areas where I could not use my phone or have it with me, but now that I can... and I upgraded to the 6, I'm kinda ticked my phone keeps dropping my wi-fi. In addition, not sure if anyone else had this issue but mine keeps randomly dropping service. Every so often, it will fall out of service then seconds later, full service with LTE😕. Im on the Sprint network, though its not the best, but its far from the worst... and no, I'm not in an area with poor reception. Im speaking of areas where I have full service with LTE, then all of a sudden drops to "No Service". As for the WiFi issue; the fixes are ridiculous, like right now im in my office, on my laptop there are 10 different wireless networks and hot-spots, on my phone, its searching... spinning out of control for the last 10 minutes, which prompted me to look this issue up.. Changing the settings on your home router, ect. is not a fix, rebooting is not a fix, toggling the wifi ant. is not a fix... a fix would be a firmware update. Can you imagine going to your friends house, you have no LTE or 3G, so you want to use his/her wifi, but you have to get them to change their router settings...😕, or perhaps you're at the DMV/MVA, Dr. Office,...are you going to ask them to be kind enough to allow you to change their wifi settings so you can get on?.. that will go over well at the box office...😝

A clean install of iOS 8.1 did seem to work for me. I wanted to give it a few days to make sure it was actually working but I haven't needed to restart my iPhone since doing a clean reinstall of 8.1.

Thanks for the tip Ishmaelar. I couple of hours to reinstall everything was a fair trade-off to have a working iPhone everywhere.

Cheers.

during my testing ios 8.02 & 8.1 (patched today) still face the wifi drop issue.

if your router support 5ghz signal, you might have better luck. my iphone 6 with ios 8.1 could still pick up 5ghz signal. 2.4ghz is totally gone case (detect once and gone forever).

let hope ios 8.11 will fix the wifi signal issue completely

HHello there

i hv both iPhone 5&6

iphone 6 under iOS 8.1resolve blue tooth issue

but did not solve wifi drop problem

i standing next to my wifi router now still no signal

pls resolve this issue

it seem like the iOS 8 is a real disappointment

If you go back to page 1 of this thread, the solution is right there.

follow the link posted and follow directions.

If this still doesn work, contact apple directly.

Do a clean restore but do not restore from backup in itunes setup as new

Sent from my iPhone

reset network setting on iphone6 didnt fix the issue for wifi connectivity.

New iphone6 setup + restore from backup same issue.

Not going for a fresh phone setup. I might as well switch to andriod phone if I cant migrate my data to new phone.

My new iPhone 6 plus dropped wifi every minute or two. I finally fixed it by updating the firmware in my router through the browser login. It's stayed connected to wifi for about 8 hours now.

I was having this same issue of the wifi dropping. Went to the Apple store the tech did something to the phone,not sure. Had to go back again the next day cause that did not fix it. They ended up replacing my phone. That too did not work either. I sat on chat with them and still had nothing really to tell me. So I found this on their website and changed it to WPA2 Personal (AES) IT WORKS YEAH!!!!! Hopes this helps if anyone else runs into this same problem

I've found a wireless issue and resolved it for now by turning off wifi on my other 8.1.2 device with the same account...see below. I posted this thread just now in hardware. I had also tried switching from WPA/WPA2 mixed to just WPA with no result.

So I got a 6 plus last week, and all was fine until I upgraded my 5s to 8.1.2. These are on the same apple id account for reference.

After days of troubleshooting we finally found that the 5s takes or causes the 6 plus to drop its wireless connection.

With the 5s off, the 6 plus is stable and keeps wireless. Turn on the 5s, and the 6 plus instantly drops its connection. Tested multiple times, 100% percent result each time; the 5s rules and gets to keep it's wireless while the 6 plus is left with none, not allowed to connect.

Apple is now following my case, and hopefully they can fix this. Anyone else have this issue?

Wow ... i just read your post ... turned off my iPhone 5 and the WIFI network immediately came back to my iPhone 6 Plus. What is happening here ?

Boy do i feel like a beginner !!!

Finally my problem was that both my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 had the same ip address from the router !!! And it looks like the iPhone 5 was more aggressive in keeping it's address than the iPhone 6.

My problem ended up being the router. For some reason it's not capable of broadcasting 802.11n to multiple devices. I was forced to switch its broadcast to 802.11b/g mixed, instead of 802.11b/g/n mixed. Speeds are a bit slower, I went from 30mbs to 20mbs roughly. Time for a new router:) The brand I have is a TP-LINK 300M, fully updated firmware...last one of that brand!

I'm glad you found the source of your problem :-)

Happy Holidays

This solution has worked for me and im very excited to share it.

My mother had a customer, and while cutting his hair, found out that he was a tmobile expert. Both me and my mother have been having the same issue with the wifi dropping, we've tried everything, the resetting and yada yada. If you have tmobile and is experiencing this problem, this will DEFINITELY work for you.

YOU MUST ENABLE WIFI CALLING

If your wifi keeps dropping to LTE of 4g, this will fix the problem permanently. It worked for me and my mother.

Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calls > Allow Wi-Fi Calls

I hope this helps!
